When the competition was held last year, Mälardalen's technical high school won, even the year before that it was the Södertälje students who took home the prize.

Now this year's representatives hope to be able to retain the school's title as Swedish youth champion in CNC technology.

- It went well today and we went on to the semifinals tomorrow.

If it goes well, it will be the final on Friday, says Eric Malmquist.

Last year, the competition was held digitally due to the corona pandemic, but this year young people from all over Sweden gather to compete in Jönköping.
